Our fearless leader, Executive Director Lucy Beard, is retiring from the Alice Paul Institute this fall, after 25+ years with the organization in a wide variety of volunteer and staff positions.

Join us in honoring all that she's done for #ERANow by donating to her September matching gift fundraising campaign. We want to see the ERA become the 28th Amendment, so show your support by donating 28 in whatever way you can.
